Briefly describe Piaget's approach to moral development

What will be an ideal response?


Piaget argued that moral development proceeded in three stages. The earliest stage was referred to as
heteronomous morality, in which rules are seen as invariant and unchangeable and roughly coincides with children
aged 4 to 7. At about ages 7 to 10 years, the stage of moral reasoning is referred to as the incipient-cooperation
stage and is characterized by children's knowledge of game rules that are perceived to be unchangeable. The final
stage of moral development was referred to as the autonomous cooperation stage, which begins at about age 10.
The final stage is characterized by children's knowledge that rules of law are created by people and are subject to
change according to the will of people.
